Vinyl For Sale: Fitzcarraldo, Legendary Pink Dots, Maniac Cop Soundtrack Vinyl

For Sale, Soundtracks, Vinyl Finds, We Buy VInyl, , , , , , ,

The rare, cool, hard-to-find and unusual vinyl is starting to pile up again in the Turntabling Collection for sale on Discogs.com.

There’s some classic Italian soundtrack sounds on the fabulous Easy Tempo label, some really awesome Legendary Pink Dots LPs, the soundtrack to Fitzcarraldo featuring the always-amazing Popol Vuh, plus a very rare SEALED version of the Maniac Cop soundtrack.

These records are for sale to raise funds to continue the mission of Turntabling to buy and archive rare and unusual vinyl from around the globe. Turntabling is assembling a vinyl archive that I’m hoping will find a home in a public space that will serve as a vinyl museum of sorts.

That’s one reason why I am in search of vinyl collections to purchase, but anyone who wants to donate a collection or portions of their collection to the cause, please get in touch via e-mail: jwallace@turntabling.net.

Please keep in mind when selling or donating vinyl that the Turntabling Collection needs both items for the archive and titles to sell for fundraising purposes. But this endeavor is definitely a worthy cause and I’ll have more news about the archive, places where you can browse the sale portion of the collection and much more.

If you have vinyl records you want to sell or donate, please get in touch at the e-mail listed above, and thank you for your continued interest and support!

Turnaround: A Vinyl Documentary

Media, Vinyl Finds, , , , ,

I discovered this clip posted by Blake Hennequin on YouTube. Turnaround: A Vinyl Documentary seems to be a short vinyl-centric film rather than a feature-length documentary, but no matter–what grabbed my eye was the fantastic opening montage of a variety of vinyl records of all shapes and sizes spinning on a wide range of turntables. Gorgeous stuff. Sadly, it’s difficult to track down anything more about the film, but here’s the seven-minute long clip. Feast your eyes on those records!



Evil DIY Types Mutilate Vinyl Records In Ill Advised Ways

Media, , , ,

Every once in a great while I run across a YouTube horror show like this. It staggers the imagination–the toxic fumes generated by putting a vinyl record onto the fires of a gas stove alone would make this seem like a bad idea…to perpetrate these atrocities on vinyl records after, as the YouTube poster himself claims, drinking for 12 hours straight seems like a cry for help of the most desperate kind. Fear the reaper.



Vinyl Record Burners On Video

Media

The Peters Brothers were 80s satanic panic scaremongers who organized record burnings, “truth about rock” high school gymnasium seminars and much more. Watch this hysterically funny, awful, and frightening video about the Peters Brothers’ horrid, misguided nonsense…and ask yourself, vinyl lovers, how much lovely vinyl was destroyed by these polyester-loving jeezo-mutants. And just as awful, how much air pollution did these cretins generate with their record burning bonfires?

One of the best things about this video is the apparent need to explain what the words “necrophilia” and “masochism” mean. Hysterical. Also, “Hear how Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones want to control your mind”. Nice.
